Seattle Newborn Family Photography Session In-Home

I love when I get to witness couples become parents. It’s one of the most mystifying, exciting, terrifying and magnificent life transitions we can experience! I captured their maternity sessions a month or so before getting to meet their sweet baby Henry for this newborn session. This session was shot entirely in my home studio (and living room) and back yard. I love being able to host families here for sessions when I can! Otherwise in-home sessions where you live are always possible and really great. Most people think their house isn’t beautiful, styled, clean or modern enough for a successful shoot. It couldn’t be further from the truth! In-home photos are some of the most personal and relaxed. No complicated parking or trekking around a park, GPS freakouts, nap timing, etc. Home is a great place for your family photo session, especially in Seattle where our weather is so unpredictable!

I loved Emily’s styling for this session. Her breezy Doen dress was so beautiful and soft, and sweet Henry’s little outfits were cozy and simple. The less fuss the better — there are no baskets and props here!

Seattle Maternity + Family Photography Session in the Mountains

This is a family I adore and have worked with several times (always the best!). We met through good old Instagram and I’ve been able to capture their growing family over the last year and a half. We’ve done sessions in-home and out in parks, and today I wanted to share the very first session we did together set just outside of the city in a meadow by a mountain. Something about the magnitude of that place feels so right for expecting a new baby — it’s a big unknown and also thrilling! (Fun fact: I found out that I was pregnant with our second the week that this session occurred!)

Capturing family photo sessions in Seattle is so close to my heart. I love that we chose this city to live in and that we’re growing our family here, and sharing that with my clients is really special. My journey through photography has changed in the years, from focusing on weddings to photographing families as my life shifts in that direction. Enjoy this beautiful mountain maternity + family session!
